Form Fields: TextField, TextArea (auto grow), DateField, NumberField and Field (wraps selects and other elements). Supports as you type validation (configurable) from grid editors.

Inline Editors: Floating editors supporting the fields noted above. These same editor classes are now used by the grid, so making new grid editors will be a snap. A complex editor will extend on top of this that supports auto server posts (probably not til 1.1).

PagingBar: Grid paging toolbar refactored from the grid and able to be used stand-alone. Can be used to page Ext.View, etc.

Still to do:
Update Ext.View for new Ext.data package. JsonView will be deprecated, since the data package provides for more powerful JSON loading, filtering and STABLE SORTING.

My personal deadline for Ext 1.0 beta 1 was for the 15th. I am now targeting Monday, as the few extra days over the weekend will help to get everything in line.
It will take however long it takes Jack, just make sure you enjoy starting work each day.

Local storage! Legendary. Whose data store/layer is it? Dojo, Flash/FF2 native, Ext's own etc? Whose proxy? Which browsers? What are the limitations etc?

Wow Jack I'm still very happy about yui-ext, and using it for a few weeks already, this is great.
I'm really looking forward to release 1.0. :D

Keep up the good work !

Herm, there aren't any local storage providers yet, but it is set up for it. The design allows data to be proxied in from anywhere, e.g. local storage, DWR or whatever through a defined interface. The proxies I have already done are HttpProxy (XHR of course), MemoryProxy for Arrays and local data, and a new one ScriptTagProxy which allows cross domain loading into grids, views, forms or whatever for sites which support callbacks.

Form layouts and form handlers (other than fields) aren't completed and will be beta 3.

I looked all over the site and couldn't find any references to what this is.

Is there any information on that this is going to be?

My mind is running wild with some dreams of what it could be.

I don't know all the details, but there will be support for auto-layout forms, with field anchoring, etc. so that you can define form layouts programmatically. Also, all of the form editor fields will support built-in and custom validation via Ext.
